**new**     Sponsor an Erg and Elementary Erg Loan program:

This is to help promote fitness through the sport of rowing within our elementary schools. Sponsorship can be for a whole erg for $750 or share a sponsorship for $250 each.  And we have until the end of March 2008 to seek  sponsors for up to 10 ergs and get them into our elementary schools.
This is a unique partnership offered with Silver Lake Rowing club and the elementary schools.  Each sponsorship will be recognized by a plaque for you or your business and a sticker placed on each erg. 

With your support Silver Lake is loaning local Norfolk elementary schools ergometers to give the children more avenues to achieve fitness.  The first elementary indoor races will be held on Saturday April 12, 2008 at 10am at the rowing club upstairs room.
